kind. He don't 60 about Proelainling ms s
willingness to ally himself with any sci o.
men 10 defeat the ring. He Is not that KIND
Of Democrat.
The TerreboHue AdUooaic asks these quess-
items: 'sAre men who canYassed the parlSh

It must have been very unpleasant, indeed,
for Messrs. H L. Garland, T. Perrouln anu
others, who recommended the appointment
Of Judge Estillette, and vino are also sup
porting the reform movement, to sit on tle
platform at the Nichols meeting at Opel0u-
sas and hear the Governor denounced Tor
making the appointment.

They do not agree. About all the other
Nichols .papers say that Mchnery got mp the
Interstate Agricultural Convention In MS own
interest while the Lake Charles C0J'i''ae''eta'
denies that he is entitled to the credit Of get
ting it up and making it a success. We DO
not believe either arc correct.

We have been informed that the Nichols
people would refuse to divide time with Hon

It is all right,

We cannot be made to believe that the
peoDIe OF Louisiana, prematurely and aTtth-
eiaiLv aroused by Col. Hollinsw0rth q tin horn
and Gen Nichols responsive miniature war

General As the successor Of bcEnery whom
the formers partisans hBge from the begin
ming, and have to the end, so much tFaaueeu'
y;liied and maligDed. We believe 10 the
peoples love OF fair play.
Gen. Nichols should be retired because on

When Gen. Nichols name was first sng,
gested great promises were made. The PEG

wonders would be performed. They nave
waited they have seen and heard the reform
candidate and his canVasseEs and are no pei,

the people art fast realizing the fact that the
great battle cry of our reform friends WheI
sifted TO its proper consistency Will be found
10 be one for Office. They are outs and
they would like to become Gins"

The managers of the Nichols campaign IL
this parish are certainly hard up for campaign
thunder. when under pfetense OF organizing
clubs they are compelled to use the SAINT
names. with but little variation, in all theil
patented reports. Some time ago they pre-
tended to organize a Nichols club in Tiger
vile, composed of some Of the best citizen!
there, and on last Saturday the same rigtna
role was gone through with at ChacabOuls
Station, using the namss Ui the IiEerVllit
club 10 swell the list at ChacaLOula We nH
derstaud that some OF these gentlemen dis
claim any connection with that club.

Is Gen Nichols canyassing the State witt
a view TO securing the nomination tOrG0FeT
nor from the next Democratic convention 0
for the purpose Of organizing an Independent
Nichols party and running as an Independent
candidate against the Democratic nominee
he fails 10 get the nomination. 1t would b
the part Of wisdom for the Democrats Wb'
belong TO, or propose to join Nichols climbs
TO have this matter definitely settled befor
they might find themselves yoRe+felloyEs wit
negroes and csrpet-baggers and such ''an5
bodies to beat the ring"
